My dad invented this Red Ant and has caught sea trout, brownies, rainbows, chub and dace.

Dry fly

Hook: 16-18
Thread: brown
Rear hackle: Brown cock hackle (genetic)
Body: dyed red swan/ibis
Front Hackle: Brown cock hackle (genetic)

Somewhere I have the tying instructions. I'll scan them and post it on here.
